Oklahoma voters who wish to vote absentee in the Nov. 6 general election need to get their applications for absentee ballots to their county election boards no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, LeFlore County Election Board Secretary Phillip Zearley said.

Any registered voter eligible to vote in the Nov. 6 election may vote by absentee ballot without stating a reason, Zearley said. Absentee voters may apply in person at their Election Board Office or they may submit applications by mail, fax or by telegraph, he said.

Zearley said registered voters who are physically incapacitated or confined to nursing homes, and those who care for physically incapacitated people may apply for absentee ballots only by mail, fax or telegraph.

Military personnel overseas and their spouses and dependents are entitled to vote without being registered, Zearley said. They may apply only by mail, email or fax, he said.
